I scored a IIci for super cheap (GBP£30). No floppy drive, no hard disk, no drive cage, no reset/interrupt buttons and no PSU, but the motherboard looks super clean and just needs a recapping.
Since I'm also in the process of restoring two Macintosh Classics, one of them beyond repair (battery exploded and tube imploded), I now have a spare 80MB SCSI Disk, a Spare 1.44MB Floppy Drive and the two 1MB SIMMS from it's memory expansion board. Other than a PSU, which I'll wire up from a modern ATX (hopefully without blowing everything up), I should hopefully have a working IIci for nothing but the cost of some replacement capacitors and a video adaptor.
Fingers crossed!
